Hi, I have a problem from time to time when changing IP-adresses for servers or taking over other domains:
I have example.com correctly set up on a mailserver-A as a hosteddomain, this server is working good, no problems and maildelivery for this example.com works well. BUT: MX records for example.com are still pointing to mailserver-B and NOT to mailserver-A. This is still ok, because the "take over" should take place on a quiet sunday night... NOW if I send mail from any account on mailserver-A to example.com, the mail is NOT delivered to mailserver-B, as this is still set in the actual mx-record for example.com, but the message never leaves mailserver-A and is delivered to the hosted mail account for example.com on mailserver-A. In other words: in such a case, that a domain is setup to be "hosteddomained" and "esmtpacceptedfor" on my mailserver-A courier doesn�t seem to be interested in the actual mx record for a domain. In other words: my courier-installation overrides the mx record data with local configuration info. In other words: maybe courier does not even look for the actual mx record, because the target domain is configured to be accepted as a locally hosted domain. I hope, I could describe the situation so that everybody can understand, what I mean... sorry, my english is still not A-Class. Question: Is this a configuration error? If not, is it a hardwired courier behavior to ignore mx records for domains setup to be hosted on the actual server? If this is NOT a configuration error, am I the only one that has problems with this kind of behaviour? How can it be avoided? Thank you very much for your attention, Peter ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by: Sybase ASE Linux Express Edition - download now for FREE LinuxWorld Reader's Choice Award Winner for best database on Linux. http://ads.osdn.com/?ad_idU88&alloc_id065&op=click _______________________________________________ courier-users mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] Unsubscribe: https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/courier-users
